This was an enjoyable movie that really communicated an eighties feel along with a gritty excitement. Ben Affleck directed, produced and starred – bravo!
In poking around, this fun quote emerged:
The six diplomats were privy to the screenplay. One scene at the airport has the diplomats pulled aside for questioning and the outcome looks bleak. Joe Stafford, a diplomat whose prominence was exaggerated by Anders’ account, saves the crew by convincingly explaining Argo’s storyboards in Farsi. When the diplomats asked about this fictionalized scene, the producers replied, “We have to set up conflict.”
“It was much more difficult coming up here through Washington,” quipped Anders on Wednesday. Source
